It has been confirmed the company has rolled out Oreo Eggs, and small versions are already available in UK stores.

A spokesperson for Cadbury has asked we include that the confections are "not Creme Eggs, or a new flavour of Creme Egg", but that they are "Oreo Eggs". However, they are being colloquially referred to as Creme Eggs and are very similar to the famous product, so we feel it is fair to refer to them as a "new flavour of Creme Egg".

A spokesperson for Cadbury told The Metro: "We are always innovating our product ranges and there are lots of exciting things to come from the Cadbury brand this year and beyond.

"As part of our Easter range this year we have launched new Cadbury Dairy Milk Egg ‘n’ Spoon Oreo, which will be available alongside our existing Oreo Easter products including the Cadbury Dairy Milk Oreo Shell Egg and the Cadbury Dairy Milk Oreo Easter Egg Sharing Bag."

Instead of gloopy icing sugar, the eggs are packed with Oreo cream and crushed up biscuit.

The packaging is different too; instead of the purple, red and yellow foil wrap Creme Eggs pleasingly nestle in during Easter, the Oreo version is packaged in a blue plastic cup to protect the egg from cracks or damage.

Cadbury intend Easter snackers to purchase both, and have promised a different eating experience with the Oreo Creme Egg.

The company told the New Zealand Herald: "Cadbury Oreo Easter eggs are ideal for Cadbury Oreo chocolate lovers who can now treat themselves in the lead-up to Easter"

"While they share a similar eating occasion, that's where the similarities end. Cadbury Creme Eggs and Cadbury Oreo Easter eggs are two very different tasting eggs."
